Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: Going through the database with Lieutenant Maggie Poole, Magnum spots finally Ivan's picture. This involuntary puts a rather hilarious twist to one of the most famous and dramatic endings of a TV episode, since that picture from the military intelligence database is exactly from the 'future', aka the ending of the episode; Ivan is wearing the same black suit and tie (pretty weird already with the setting) that he will wear in the ending, and is even in front of the same tree leaf by leaf.

Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: Mac suggest to drive Magnum and Julie to watch the sun rise at the Pali lookout. When Magnum collapses, his watch is at 10 minutes to 2. In April (Queen's birthday), the sun rises in Hawaii around 6, surely Mac did not plan to drive them around for 4 hours. (00:42:00)

Did You See the Sun Rise? - S3-E1

Revealing mistake: MacReynolds is summoned by his superior officer on the observation site. The officer holds his binoculars perfectly still and mostly horizontal, but in the POV shots the visual keeps shifting higher and higher following the missile's trajectory. (00:12:00)

Of Sound Mind - S3-E12

Higgins: How fiendishly deceptive of you, Magnum. I could have sworn I was hearing the emasculation of a large rodent. To my great surprise, I see the sounds are emanating from what I thought was a harmless musical instrument.
Magnum: Cute Higgins, real cute.
Higgins: Why Magnum? Why do this terrible thing?
Magnum: Higgins, I'll have you know I used to be very good. I was the second best sax player in my High School band!
Higgins: Well, how many sax players were there?!
Magnum: ...Anyway. I just saw this in a pawn shop window and thought I'd like to try and get my chops back.
Higgins: May I suggest that your "chops" are irretrievable.
Magnum: Higgins, did you come here just to abuse me!?
